“Melissa was awesome! She exceeded our expectations as first time Rover users and we would absolutely request her again in the future. She sent lots of pictures during her visits and was very detailed with her notes. Her communication was great and it allowed us to work out any hiccups with our pups in real time. She went above and beyond and even swept the dirt the dogs drug in while she was here. Her prices her also very reasonable. Don’t hesitate to book with her!”


“Time and time again, consistently dependable. When you have Callie, you know things will be just right. You can go on vacation take a nap and have one less thing to worry about. It’s priceless, honestly.”


“Maribel was wonderful and we will definitely book with her again. This was my first time booking with Rover and I was nervous to have a stranger come in the home and leave my fur babies with a someone I didn't know. Maribel set up a visit to meet us and our dogs and I quickly felt comfortable with her. The dogs warmed up to her immediately and the daily notifications of check ins and photos put our mind at ease. Thank you Maribel, Olive and Arlo look forward to booking with you again soon. :)”


About: With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets, I provide loving, reliable attention while you’re away—treating your furry family like my own. I’m studying to be a vet tech, attend college three days a week, and train at a clinic yet I’m flexible and committed to pet care. I prioritize safety, create a calm and loving environment, and treat every pet with care and respect earning your trust every step of the way.
“Wendy is amazing! We booked her for 3 days, 3 visits a day. I have never left my dogs in anyone’s care before. I chose Wendy for visits in my home instead of boarding because I’m very particular with my boys. I have also never left anyone access to my home. Wendy always came on time to check my boys at the times requested. She fed, walked and played with them. She always kept me updated with pictures and messaged me. She let me know what they were doing and how they were behaving. She also has great judgement with the boys and watched them after play time to regulate their breathing before leaving. She also made sure they drank their water. She kept my home clean from slobber and cleaned up when one of them threw up a little. My home was exactly as I left it, and so were my boys. Seriously gave me comfort knowing that my boys were in good hands. I will always be booking Wendy in any future times I need to leave.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. After rescuing my dog from the shelter, I knew I had a passion for helping animals. I began pet sitting for clients three years ago and take care of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, tortoises, and horses. I provide walks, feeding, giving medications, bathing, cleaning up after pets, house sitting, and play time. I even provide services such as taking out clients trash, watering their plants, and getting their mail. Anything to make your time away from home worry free! Currently, I have open availability. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies whenever I am needed. I can do drop-ins, overnights, and walks! When attending a clients home, I ask that the clients provides a list of instruction of exactly what their fur babies need. Each fur baby is different but I provide feeding, walking, clean up, and play time. I will also provide medication to your fur babies if they need it. If you need your trash taken out, plants watered, and mail picked up I can provide that as well.

“Heidi took good care of my dog. Guala has just gotten spayed and I needed someone to watch her while I left town, Heidi watched her and gave her medicine. She updated me with messages and pictures, and my baby looked so happy. Her house was clean and looked safe for my dog. She is the most trustful person to leave your pets with. I am so happy with the care that she provide and now I know who to leave her with next time.”

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more—since I was young. I’ve independently house and pet sat for years and always treat every home and animal with love, respect, and reliable care. I’m known for being highly trustworthy, attentive, and great with both energetic pups and shy pets alike. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m an early riser, so morning feedings, walks, or litter box cleanings are never an issue. I plan my day around check-ins, playtime, and any special needs like medication or grooming. Evenings are reserved for winding down with pets, making sure they feel safe and settled before bed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d give my own. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and routines—while keeping the home clean, secure, and peaceful. I make sure pets feel safe and loved in their familiar environment by sticking to their usual routines and offering plenty of attention, play, and affection. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe routine for every pet. Whether I’m watching animals in my own home or someone else’s, their care always comes first. I also keep clients updated with messages or photos, so they always know their pets are happy and in good hands.
